I just spent a good part of the day trying to figure out how to mount an ssh connection as a volume on my Mac filesystem.
TL;DR: buy Transmit for $34!
I started out by installing MacFuse only to find out (just after it finished installing) that it was no longer being developed and actually didn't work on Lion. Nor did it uninstall... Here I learned that by upgrading to this version it would work and also uninstall. So I did.
I then decided to try the combination OSX Fuse and MacFusion. That actually worked! ... But not well. It felt sluggish and cumbersome and failed to mount or timed-out all the time.
So I went with Transmit... paid the (hefty) $34 price and mounting was a breeze and very fast. There you have it. Use MacFusion if speed is not an issue. Pull your wallet if it is.
